Hanalee takes a deep breath as she reaches the battle--doing her best to mask her surprise at the level of carnage. Though tempted to draw her beloved weapons, she charges to the fray with her fists swinging!

OOC - Alric's intent was to get them to swing at me not the crowd. But drunkards will be drunkards. :)

I rolled but sounds like you might have as well which is fine. :)
Here are my rolls 7, 14, 21, 17 for intimidate/taunting

and hide is 20 and 8.

I want to look around and see if anyone is being abused, kicked when down, overly  targeted etc.

my perception roll is a 15. I will gladly take an action to do so if I need to.

Oh, but they are swinging at you! Or at least your voice. :) You just happen to be hiding amongst the crowd.

Quote from: Artifacts of Amber;771227Being not very strong and not good with his fist Alric will attempt to draw away one of the biggest brawlers by taunting them, Hiding amongst the crowd using his natural halfling god given skills and basically concentrating on avoiding getting hit.

:D

Yes, mostly regular guys tried to double team the big guys. In fact, Caden got in a bit of that action himself, even as his big guy disengaged and fought someone else. (Though Caden was being whaled on by a momentarily blinded guy.) Unfortunately it is currently 1-on-1 right now and Caden looks the worse for wear, FYI.

You do see people trying to pull the newly downed out of the melee proper. And that has been 5 people since you got here. As for kicked while downed, no one seems to be that committed to manslaughter/murder.

As for 'bad sportsmanship' you don't spot any of the remaining fighters getting real dirty (biting, gouging, etc.). It all seems to be winding down with fewer combatants left. Four minutes took out some stamina them, but they all still seem dangerous yet.

EDIT: There are lots of unconscious people strewn about. You see someone in a Sister's Habit attending one already, about 25' from you but across the brawl. There are still more who have been left about unattended, some even near your side of the brawl.

As for your rolls.

Quote from: Artifacts of Amber;771501I rolled but sounds like you might have as well which is fine. :)
Here are my rolls 7, 14, 21, 17 for intimidate/taunting

and hide is 20 and 8.

It is easy to Taunt angry drunks, DC 10.
Quick DC 15 save to see if they charge the taunting voice, and I rolled 5, 16, 12, 3.

Your Taunting actually worked an extra time (assuming 50% DC success rate out of 4 rolls), atop their two previous failed save. I will roll an additional time to see if a big guy successfully punches out someone else in the audience, and they too join in the fun.

A 5, he misses. :( A miner fell back out of the way and is now on his butt.

Wow, nice first Hide roll. You give away your Hide position once you make noise. I am assuming your first Hide before Taunting was successful, as it was a crowd, and why wait for more rolls in a PbP. The other two rolls are to Hide again after giving away your general area.

Since you are hiding behind people and taunting drunks, however, it is easy to see how they need rolls to save v. lashing out at the wrong target, even if they get the right area. Their active Perception searches fails horribly to contest yours, being a 14 and a 1. As they comb the crowd you slip away. As you taunt them again they turn and punch, only to swipe at some victim, and later fail searching again.

Bright Feather and Karnath

You are both still 3 and 4 Dash Rounds, or 210' and 240', respectively away from the brawl. You both are Dashing 70' and 60' a Round, respectively.

If you are planning a ranged attack, or coordinating something, you still have time. Otherwise you are still a goodly distance away.

Also, I made an error in not differentiating between a full Speed regular Round, and a Dash Speed Round. That caught up with me, I had to go back and edit certain distances. I will be making a note of it in the future. Apologies.

OK, resolving Caden's Shove before Initiative in the 41st round was a bad idea, because dice. Oh well.

Main Street Brawl, Round 41

Five out of 7 openings land nasty blows. None of them go down, but...

Caden. You squeeze into the defense of this big guy you've been working on. You got it just right! You know you'll have him off balance, and with a shove you might be able to turn this fight around...

... and he responds to you closing in with an uppercut — a beautiful one, full on jaw.

And the last thing you see is that you push him off his feet to the ground.

Unconscious. EDIT: Still conscious with 1 HP.

OOC: He rolled a 20. That is 4 damage total. Caden was at 11 damage out of 13.

Macro-ing the rest of this is unwise. Next round Caden is making Death Saves, and he's still inside the brawl space. This might change how the rest of the party acts for rounds 42 and 43.


EDIT: Due to Clerical Error on Post #146 —not mentioning damage to PC Caden from the Dice Room tabulation — I shall wave away the 3 points of damage during Rounds 37-40.

Caden is still conscious with 1 HP.


Hanalee, roll an attack roll for Round 41. Let me know what you decide for rounds 42 & 43 (though you can stay the same).

Alric, I had you Perceive for Round 41, and you are also quite aware of an unconscious Caden. Let me know what you decide for rounds 42 & 43, too.

Mr. Kent

Hanalee gleefully charges to one of the biggest grapplers she can find (and hope it doesn't land her on her ass in front of the crowd...)

Seeing as Caden is my new friend it would be unwise to abondon him. Since I seem unharmed as of yet I will move toward him and try to take the pressure off him. I can probably take a hit or two yet. Once there i will engage anyone threatening him, hopefully alowing him to stumble away. MOstly dodging if I can without losing the opponents interest if that seems to be happening then I will take a swing.

I am hoping there are enough hurt that the good sister will be around after this breaks up :)

OOC-I'll roll in the room some d20 for you to apply to skills/attacks as needed. If you need to roll for me feel free as speed is more important than my need to roll for myself.  rolls were 11 ; 1 ; 20 ; 16 ; 8 ; 6 ; 14 ; 6

Dang drunkards can't they see I want to be punched, that's why I hide :)

Having fun and thanks :)

Arkansan

Caden will use the opportunity his shove created to disengage and try and make his way out of the Melee. Even Caden recognizes the need to beat a tactical retreat from time to time.

Main Street Brawl, Round 42

Caden wants to disengage, Hanalee wants to pummel the biggest (healthiest?) bruiser left in battle, and Alric wants to defend Caden.

I'll use Alric's 1st d20, 11, for initiative.

Init: Caden, 1-2. Hanalee, 3. Alric, 11. Remaining Brawlers, 1-19.

Alric throws himself into the ring and runs interference between the brawlers and Caden, Dodging in and out. Meanwhile Hanalee charges in and clocks the least wobbly of the big guys, with a punch that shows well of her smithy's instruction. "Whoah!" goes the crowd, as she punched as good as any of the bruisers. "Like a hammer to an anvil, that one!"

While the brawlers continue to duke it out, Caden's target stands and closes towards Alric & Caden, holding a defensive posture; there's indecision in his eyes. You'd swear you'd say he was holding back from hitting a child protecting his father. A Very Easy thing to perceive, as his drunkenness and exhaustion leaves his face open to read. Automatic Passive Insight check success. He drops his guard, mumbles unintelligibly what may be an apology, and walks out the brawl and crowd — taking one to the jaw without response as he passes on through.

Caden sees an opportunity to get on out and takes it, Disengaging as he goes. Alric is a brave guy to stand there as a shield buying you time. The fists are flying as you speed out of there, ending uptown (nicer area) of the fray. You see bodies of those who bit off more than they could chew strewn about this side of the crowd.

OOC: I must say, that slew of extra d20 tolls was helpful! Perhaps a technique to use in the future. Though there is GM temptation, I try to be as neutral as possible with it.

I just need:

Hanalee another 2 to-hit rolls for Rounds 43 and 44.

Alric I have your rolls, thanks! I just need to know now what you do for the next two rounds.

Caden Same thing, what are you doing these two rounds?

Bright Feather You arrive earlier than Karnath, at the end of Round 43. You have Round 44 to do something else before she arrives.

Karnath If you have any Bonus Actions you want to activate as you Dash to the brawl let me know. Otherwise you arrive at the end of Round 44. On Round 45 you are free to act.
